Bruno,
Wow that really shows a difference that I hope Doug and the list can see,
thanks.
This is one of the statements that leads to a misunderstanding, I believe. It
is under "producer gas" saying;
Producer Gas is a generic term referring to:
Syngas: used as a fuel source or as an intermediate for the production of other
chemicals.
While I agree that synthesis gas is a fuel or intermediate, the fact that Wiki
lists producer gas as also "syngas" is, I believe, wrong. Producer gas is not
synthesis gas. Nitrogen is the main element in producer gas with relatively
smaller amounts of H and CO where synthesis gas has much higher energy level CO
and H2 concentrations and low low N, if any.
Jim insists that his GEK is making "syngas" in all of his web communications
that I see, taking advantage of and fostering a misconception and
misrepresentation that a producer gas making machine (GEK) he is selling, will
make "syngas". I've asked that he market with the correct term, but he
refuses. I feel that this marketing use of "syngas" term is misleading in his
machines capability as a gasifier. Synthesis gas making should be so easy.
I hope someone who contributes to Wiki will do some more digging to identifty
the differences and references. None of the comments on the syngas page
identified a difference between producer and syngas, yet synthesis gas clearly
states how fuels can be synthesized...but does not describe producer gas as
also synthesis gas. Perhaps others will see and help document more key
differences.
The Wiki process to make a change is not one that I have navigated. The issue
with the "syngas" term is, to date, the biggest disappointment I have had using
Wiki.
